Words can be inspiring. Some people have the gift of telling words of wisdom, making us think about our lives, our hopes, future achievements. Did it ever happen to you to read a phrase written centuries ago and feel as it was written yesterday? Or get a tweet in a morning that inspired and nourished you for the whole day?

For this challenge, you have to post your favorite quote that is resourceful, inspirational, makes you think about sustainability and innovation, and inspires you to contribute to a future that works for all. Do let us know the wise person who said it. And please tell us in the comment why it’s your favorite.
